BkWurm1 January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 I have fairly long hair, straight as a board but constantly prone to massive snarls. I use oodles of conditioner but in the winter it's still ridiculously dry. I've taken to using a smoothing serum that essentially feels like oil. I have to wonder if we'd all be just as successful using a dab of olive oil rather than the fancy (and expensive) concoction created by the beauty companies. Never dared find out though.

SmallScreenDiva January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 Somewhere in another thread, it was mentioned that people in this forum are not so kind to those with a difference of opinion. My two cents is that there are people with differing opinions, and then there are people who live to antagonize. These antagonizers, however, are fairly easy to spot. They'll say something obnoxious, and then walk away, waiting for other posters to respond to their comments. A while later, they'll return to say something else obnoxious. This goes on for a time, sometimes there are contradictions involved, but if you engage them long enough, they'll eventually say something that shows that they really had no idea what they were talking about, they were just trying to piss you off. I've found that it's best to just ignore these people because even if logic prevails and you make your point, they'll just be back in a month to start the same cycle all over again. My advice? DON'T ENGAGE. It'll keep your blood pressure from skyrocketing. The "ignore users" feature on this forum is awesome. I make full use of it. 1 Link to comment

Chaser January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) The S5 Game of Thrones trailer looks so good. Small complaint tho: wish there was more Arya because i am looking so forward to her storyline. Possibly unpopular opinion: I'm not a big fan of the Queen of Dragons. I don't hate her or anything. I just find her overrated. Edited January 31, 2015 by 10Eleven12 Link to comment
Sakura12 January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I don't think that's the unpopular opinion, most people don't like her. I have the unpopular opinion of liking Dany. However I am more interested in Arya's storyline on the show and if GRRM ever finishes the next book. Link to comment
Carrie Ann January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Man, I used to love Dany, but IMO Emilia Clarke has lost whatever subtlety she once had in her performance. It's all imperious looks and solemn words, and it comes across very showy. Eh. I'm over her performance, but still like the character from the books (although she, like pretty much every character, has taken some turns I wish she hadn't in the later books). Sansa and Arya are my true loves, with Jon Snow in third. I'm a Stark girl, I guess. 1 Link to comment
Chaser January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) Really? I started the show late and had to marathon to catch up and she was the one I kept hearing about. With Dany, I feel like they kept repeating some beats with her and I wanted them to more on. I haven't read the books but it does look like her story is going to be moving towards the others at a faster rate this season. I hope so. Arya is my favorite. Sansa is intriguing to me. I wasn't a fan at the beginning, but I'm really impressed with how much she has grown on me. Same with Jon Snow. And I find Cersei crazy fun. Lena is awesome.

Sakura12 January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I get why people don't like Dany or Emila, but I still like her for some reason. It could be my love of BookDany washing over into the show. That's how it is for Arya, BookArya is my favorite character. However TVSansa is way better than BookSansa. Favorite show character right now is Margaery and the Jon Snow's parentage theories are my favorite theories. The video game for Game of Thrones is also tons of fun, they only have one ep so far but it's great to hear the actual actors voices with the characters. You have the option to piss off Cersei or placate her, that was probably the most intense part of the game. 2 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I finally succumbed and have watched the first three seasons of Game of Thrones in the last three weeks. I've been postponing season four, since that's it until season five, and then there's a wait... I'm loving it! I like Dany and Sansa, but I adore Arya. Also, I've turned around on Jaime completely, although he'll never take Jon Stark's place in my heart. If that happens, it will be Gendry. 7 Link to comment
Chaser January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 It's so addictive. It's one of those shows that are made for marathoning. And Yes to Gendry. I want more Gendry. 1 Link to comment
Sakura12 January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I finally got my friend to watch the show, I told her she'd like it but she didn't think she would. She watched all 4 seasons in 2 weeks. When I started, I was only a season behind. I watched S1 in 3 days right before season 2 started. Then I read all the books in about a week (it helped that I read them on a flight to Japan). The wait for the next season is not near as long as the over 2 years I've been waiting for the next book. 2 Link to comment
manbearpig January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) I remember reading the first four A Song of Ice and Fire books during the summer after I finished my A-Levels but before starting university. I was obsessed and for a while all I thought about was those damn books. I love the show, too, but I've been a little underwhelmed by what they've done with A Storm of Swords. Still a great show but I've been pretty let down in places because of some of the changes they've made, like the whole Theon mess since they've basically given him a variation on the same scene ever since he got captured. Being tortured sucks, but I only need to see it once. The book handled that storyline a lot more effectively, but I understand why the show needed to tackle it in a different way, even if I didn't like it. I don't even necessarily mind changes to the original material; I love how much the show has fleshed out Margery when she was basically an ambiguous non-entity in the books, and there's been a bunch of great scenes like Cersei and Robert's discussion of their marriage in season one that are exclusive to the show. There are whole storylines on the show that I've lost interest in, like anything involving Jon, Dany, or Bran, and almost all of the characters that populate their stories. I do still love Game of Thrones though, and it's still one of the very best shows on television. I am very interested in seeing what they do with season five because we're getting closer to uncharted territory, and as much as I would have preferred to see everything unfold on the page first, I'm still dying to see what bits and pieces we'll see on screen that haven't been in the books yet.

Based on the original Belgian series created by Carl Joos for Eyeworks, Cordon tells the story of loved ones tragically torn apart, and how the society that grows inside the cordon reveals both the devolution of humanity and the birth of unlikely heroes. Plec will write and exec produce, with David Nutter (Game of Thrones, The Flash, Arrow) on board to direct the pilot and exec produce. Link to comment

manbearpig February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 I've never seen the original Tales from the Darkside show but I think a new version could be fun. If they're telling a new story every episode they could populate the show with CW actors who have time off as a way to get fans of existing shows to check it out. I think it would be cool to see some CW people like EBR or Willa Holland or whoever in a different role, even if it's only for an episode! Link to comment

tennisgurl February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 (edited) Interesting read. I kind of want to read the comments to see if anyone mentioned Arrow, but reading a comments section on Cracked? Sometimes you get the good, sometimes you get the bad. Real bad. To me, Katara from Last Air Bender is the worst. I mean, that movie is one of the worst adaptations ever in general, but they took a likable, flawed, and morally and physically strong main female character, and made her a wet funoodle. And I have yet to find an Irene Adler that they don't make oversexed, or a damsel (a dominatrix? Really Sherlock?) except for Elementary. Shes...certainly more interesting. You know what show I cant believe I like as much as I do? The 100. Yes there are plot holes, and sometimes characters do dumb things, but the acting is good, the stories are interesting, and I appreciate how many creative risks the show has taken this year. Plus, the most recent episode had the main character and the head warrior queen of the Earth tribes fighting a gorilla. How can you not like that?

Danny Franks February 4, 2015 Share February 4, 2015 (edited) I get why people don't like Dany or Emila, but I still like her for some reason. It could be my love of BookDany washing over into the show. That's how it is for Arya, BookArya is my favorite character. However TVSansa is way better than BookSansa. I've got to say, I absolutely cannot stand Dany in the books. I find her character just so tedious and unlikeable, and the plot she's stuck in so pointless and meandering, with very little of note happening. That feeling has crossed over into the show as well. In the first season, I really enjoyed the Dothraki stuff, and liked Irri and Rakharo as supporting characters. Well, we know what happened there. I just find her scenes, in both book and show, to be completely detached from anything that I feel like I should care about. But I really like Emilia Clarke and her enthusiasm for the show. I think she's given a lot of crap in terms of her scenes, but she manages to make enough of them work that I don't automatically skip any Dany scenes, as I started to do with the last book. I hope that Terminator movie is good (though I don't really imagine it will be), because I really want to see her in roles other than the thankless task of playing Daenerys Targaryen. ASOIAF as a whole is a real love/hate thing for me. It started off so well, and earned my devotion, but delays, seemingly pointless storylines, endless pages of world-building and awful characters like the Greyjoys have really sapped my enthusiasm. I no longer believe the series will ever be finished in book form, so the show is probably the only sort of conclusion all the poor people who picked up A Game of Thrones in 1996 will ever get. If he does somehow finish it, I sense an absolutely huge anti-climax, because he's spent just too long building things up that I don't think he can every pay it all off satisfactorily.

Think of Hitler! But I think, in this case, it must. It simply must." And from Dakota Johnson, his co-star: "But I don't want my family to see [the movie], because it's inappropriate. Or my brothers' friends, who I grew up with. I think they'd be like, 'Blegh.' Also there's part of me that's like, I don't want anyone to see this movie. Just kidding."
